Untimely Demise/Systematic Eradication/Punishment 18 Records/2013 CD Review


  Untimely  Demise are  a  band  from  Saskatchewen,  Canada  that  has  been  featured  before  in  this  zine  with  a  musical  style  that  combines  thrash and  melodic  death  metal  together and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2013  album  "Systematic  Eradication"  which  was  released  by  Punishment  18  Records.

  "Spiritual  Embezzelment" begins  with  heavy guitar  riffing  and  drums  before  adding in  some  melodic  guitar  solos  that  come  in  and  out  of  the  song  and  then  the  thrash  style  vocals  start  kicking  in  along  with  some  death  metal  growls  and  screams  as  well  as  some  melodic  guitar  riffs.

  "The  Last  Guildsman"  begins  with  some  guitar  leads,  bass  guitars  and  drums  before  getting  heavy and  having  the  aggressive  thrash/death  metal  vocals  kicking  in  along  with  some  melodic  style  singing  and  after  awhile  the guitars  start utilizing  some  melody.

  "Somali  Pirates"  begins  with  some  thrash  style  guitar  riffs  and  drums  before  the  growls  and  screams  start  kicking  in  along  with  some  thrash  style  vocals  and  after  awhile  guitar  leads and  blast  beats  are  added  into  the  music  and  you  also  can  hear the  bass  guitars.

   "Redemption" begins  with  some  heavy  guitar  and  bass  riffs  along  with  some  drums  which  leads  up  to  some  guitar  solos  and  leads  kicking  in  along  with  some  aggressive  vocals  which  also  utilize  melody  later  on  in  the  song.

  "Navigator's  Choice"  begins  with  some  heavy  guitar  and  bass  playing  along  with  some  drums  which  leads  up  to  some  thrash  and  death  metal  vocals  as  well  as  some  melodic  guitar  riffing  and  later  on  the  guitars  and  vocals  start  utilizing  some  melody  and  after  awhile  solos  and  leads start kicking  in.

  "A  Warrior's  Blood"  begins  with  some  heavy  guitar  and  bass  riffing  along  with  drums  and  then  the  vocals  and  melodic  guitar  leads  start  to  kick  in  and  towards  the  end  clean  sections  are  added  into  thee  song.

  "Revolutions"  begins  with  some  heavy  guitar  riffing  and  drums  as  well  as  some  melodic  elements  which  lead  up to  the  thrash  style  vocals  and  towards  the  end  there  is  a  brief  use  of  guitar  solos  and  leads  being  utilized.

  "Escape  From  Supermax"  begins  with  some  bass  guitars  and  drums  before  adding  in  some  heavy guitar  riffs  and  thrash/death  metal  vocals  and  after  awhile  the music  speeds  up  a  bit  along  with  some  blast  beats  and  after awhile  guitar  solos  and  leads  start  coming  in.

  Song  lyrics  cover  science fiction  and  fantasy  themes,  while  the  production  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy and  professional sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  the  recording.

  In  my  opinion this  is  another  great sounding  recording  from  Untimely  Demise  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  thrash  mixed  with  melodic  death  metal,  you  should  check  out  this album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Spiritual  Embezzelment"  "Redemption"  "A  Warrior's  Blood"  and  "Escape  From  Supermax".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
